How to Use the Volvo Cars Connected MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: What specific information does the MCP Server provide for Volvo Cars Connected when using OpenAI Agents SDK?

You can get granular details like tire pressure via gettiresstatus, window open/close status (getwindowsstatus), and engine state through getenginestatus. This gives a full picture of the vehicle's current condition.

Q: If I need to audit old usage data for Volvo Cars Connected, which tool do I use with OpenAI Agents SDK?

You should use getvehiclestatistics and getodometer. These tools pull the necessary historical trip meter data and overall mileage readings required for auditing purposes.

Q: Can the MCP Server handle multiple vehicles simultaneously with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. The listvehicles tool retrieves all associated Volvo IDs, allowing your agents to process status checks across an entire fleet sequentially or in parallel.

Check Vehicle Status with MCP Server

The `get_battery_status` tool reports the current battery level and charging status for any connected car. You can also run `get_fuel_status` to check remaining fuel and estimated range, so your agent knows when a trip is risky. Using these tools lets your OpenAI Agents SDK track vehicle readiness. Your agents perform structured actions like checking door locks via `get_doors_status`, which prevents unauthorized access before you deploy the system.

Track Fleet Movements with Volvo Cars Connected

The `list_vehicles` tool gives your agent a list of every car associated with that Volvo ID. Once it knows the vehicles, you can call `get_vehicle_details` to gather metadata about each one. This is crucial for production deployment. Your agents use this data to build comprehensive operational views, making sure every vehicle in the fleet is accounted for before an action is taken.

Manage Vehicle Data with MCP Server

Need to know how much mileage a car has gone? The `get_odometer` tool gives that reading. Similarly, you can use `get_vehicle_statistics` to retrieve usage stats and trip meter data. Your OpenAI Agents SDK integrates these metrics into the agent workflow. This means your production system logs precise usage details for billing or maintenance scheduling.

Setup guide

Set up Volvo Cars Connected MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Volvo Cars Connected tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Volvo Cars Connected tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Volvo Cars Connected tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Volvo Cars Connected Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Volvo Cars Connected tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
